The box-office report of Raavan and Housefull is out there for everyone to see and infer what they want to. And when I say Raavan, I actually am talking about movies like Dil Se, Gulaal, Firaaq, Parzania etc; and when I say Housefull, I actually am referring to movies like Welcome, SiK, Kambakht Ishq etc. Obviously, these are movies of different genres but the one thing common is that, they were all on exhibition in theatres, multiplexes etc and we know the fate of all of these movies.

A frail wounded bird snarled viciously in the dry branches of a tree. A cold-blooded vulture who looks leery-eyed and loopy-grinned at his prey.

Pray, is this world for real?! A film by Mani ratnam is an experience of a lifetime. His politics might be a little wobbly at times.

Reliance BIG Pictures and Madras Talkies' RAAVAN seems to have got an excellent opening at the box office. It has grossed Rs 20 crores worldwide on the opening day from its three versions- Hindi (RAAVAN), Tamil (RAAVANAN) and Telugu (VILLAIN).

The epics return again to contemporary cinema. After a re-telling of the Mahabharata against a political backdrop in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti, cineastes can now feast their eyes on a modern-day rewrite of the Ramayana, against a cops-and-robbers canvas.

Bollywood superstars and married couple; Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are starring in a new film called 'Raavan'. The pair describe it as one of their most physically demanding projects to date and if battling forests, creepy crawlies and even scaling waterfalls wasn't enough Aishwarya had to cope with filming in two languages simultaneously. The actors tell us how they handle their very hectic schedules and still have time to be together.

Who is Mani’s favourite, Ash or you?

Me, by far. I am his boy, I am biased. The weird thing is he’s got a very friendly relationship with Aishwarya. They argue things out, they talk and he will ask her for advice. But with me it’s a very father-son kind of relationship. He knows me as an actor better than myself. He knows my potential, he knows my flaws.

The kids on Zee TV’s DID Li’l Masters haven’t stopped trembling with fright yet … after all, a visit from the ‘Raavan’ is bound to send shivers down their little spines.
